5-70 SCPI Command Reference
Trigger subsystem
The Trigger subsystem is made up of a series of commands and subsystems
to configure the Trigger Model. These commands and subsystems are sum-
marized in Table 5-10.
:INITiate commands
[:IMMediate]
:INITiate[:IMMediate] Take 2000 out of idle state
Description
This command takes the Model 2000 out of the idle state. After all pro-
grammed operations are completed, the instrument returns to the idle state if
continuous initiation is disabled; (see next command).
:CONTinuous <b>
:INITiate:CONTinuous <b> Control continuous initiation
Parameters
<b> = 0 or OFF Disable continuous initiation
1 or ON Enable continuous initiation
Query
:CONTinuous? Query continuous initiation
Description
When continuous initiation is selected (ON), the instrument is taken out of
the idle state. At the conclusion of all programmed operations, the instru-
ment returns to the top of the trigger model.
NOTE:
With continuous initiation enabled (ON), you cannot use the
:READ? command or set sample count greater than one (see
:SAMPle:COUNt).
:ABORt command
:ABORt Abort operation
Description
When this action command is sent, the Model 2000 aborts operation and re-
turns to the top of the Trigger Model. If continuous initiation is disabled, the
instrument goes to the idle state. If continuous initiation is enabled, opera-
tion continues at the top of the trigger model.
The abort command resets the scan pointer back to the first channel in the
scan list.
